Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO
The 6 month anniversary of my second jab has passed and I have heard nothing from the Cardiff and Vale Health Board (or whoever it is) about my booster jab.
It really annoys me when you see politicians on the TV urging people to get their booster. Well, I would if they invited me.
Anyone else in the same position and is there a number to ring? Any guidance will be welcome👍

Based on my case, you should have had something Rob - I had my second jab on 13 May and received a letter last week confirming another one on 24 November. The telephone number quoted on the letter has a Pontypridd code, so it would be of no use to you.

I have this number for vaccine bookings 02921 841234 if this is the wrong one, then there may be someone who can point you in the right direction if you try this number.
I had my booster last week in The Bay. My wife, who needs to have her's because she is officially my carer and I'm immunocompromised, hasn't had her's yet but our GP send a form that can get you a booster if somebody cancels (at short notice to use up the allocated vaccines for the day) so have a word with your GP surgery too.

So sorry to read this. I'd read your previous posts and it's heartbreaking for you, your wife and family.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. The number you included appears to be the correct one. I rang it 3 times and got cut off each time when I pressed 2 to hear the message in English. The 4th time I did get through to be told by a recorded message that they are accepting calls for booster jabs for over 50s but are experiencing a high volume of calls. I will try again at another time. :thumbup:

Some weeks ago I called the number and eventually got through. I got an appointment next day for the booster at Splott Community centre
Odd thing was that after the jab I was asked if I worked for the NHS. Had I said yes I would have been given a flu jab as well. As I answered honestly I was told I would have to contact my GP or community pharmacist for it.

He'll kill the economy again in order to the protect the very NHS which exists in order to protect us. He really is over the top.
I was in Devon last week. Caught the bus a few times and everyone had a mask on although it is no longer compulsory in England.
Caught the Valleys Line train at home this week, where mask wearing is legally required and about 50% didn't bother to wear one, or had one tucked under their chin.

Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO
Was down in Cardiff today and popped into Tesco’s Culverhouse Cross - it was a Friday lunchtime, so I thought it would be busy, but was surprised to see the car park as full as it used to get in the fortnight leading up to Christmas. It was packed in the shop, but it was a shock to see how many weren’t wearing masks including four or five members of staff.

Most of the.staff were wearing masks. I’m sure half term has a lot to do with why it was so full, but it wasn’t packed with kids.

I’m all for people wearing masks if it reassures them , but why do people continue to wear the leopard print ones , they are absolutely useless 😂

Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO
I've booked a Booster Shot (Pfizer) for Tomorrow.
Anyone had their third shot and how were the side effects?
My first one was fine, the second though knocked me for 6 for 24hrs.

Had my 3rd jab last Thursday. No side effects other than my arm was more sore than after the previous 2 AZ jabs. Its worn off now.

Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO
Johnson copping a fair bit of flak about him being pictured at the COP 26 summit sat maskless next to ninety five year old Sir David Attenborough
https://news.sky.com/story/cop26-bor...rough-12458494
What struck me though was the line, which I’ve heard from Tory MPs as well about them not wearing a mask when they’re with someone they know. Unless the general public are being kept in the dark for some reason about official figures which back up what they say, I would have thought that it’s likely that a majority of those who have had Covid caught it from someone they knew.

Poor old Boris always in the firing line. The Sky news item has three photos...One with Boris without whilst Sir David has one on, second both without, and then one with Boris wearing one and Sir David not. He can't win!!
Another thread on CCMB warns us not to be complacent, and whilst I see a lot of people without masks, too many for comfort, I see others pull a well worn disposable mask out of pocket or bag to put on before entering a shop. Such masks are intended for single use and certainly should be safely disposed of at the end of each day. They are unlikely to offer any benefit if used repeatedly.

My message was about the claims that you’re somehow less likely to catch Covid from someone you know and was not meant to be party political except that it does seem to be a more prevalent view on one side of the political divide than the other.

He’s the Prime Minister and as such should always be in the firing line. It goes with the territory, if he doesn’t like the heat he should get out of the kitchen.

The science indicates that if you are within a metre of someone with covid for more than 10 minutes then the risk of catching increases significantly. The chances are that such close and prolonged contact will be with someone you know.

Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO
What’s the main age range of people dying at the moment? Is it France where they are telling the old and vulnerable/retired etc to self isolate? Maybe we should do that here until they all get a booster?

This shows the latest figures for infection, hospitalisation and death - up to about 10 days ago - and includes a detailed age profile.
About 50 UK deaths in a week in the 25-55 age groups. Over 900 UK deaths in a week in the age groups from 55 and up.

Does it say if they’ve had a vaccine or not? A few weeks ago it was 75% who hadn’t ending up in hospital or dying, I wonder if that’s still the case….

Frontline NHS staff in some Welsh hospitals were not regularly tested for Covid-19 until near the end of the second wave, BBC research has found.

For some reason those figures aren't readily published, which is strange when you consider what an incentive it would be for those who haven't had the vaccine. I quote the Govt :
The age adjusted risk of death involving COVID-19 was 32 times greater in unvaccinated compared with fully vaccinated people (between 2 January and 24 September 2021)

Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO
Austrians are days away from a first lockdown for anyone not fully vaccinated,
Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said a national lockdown for the unvaccinated was "probably inevitable".
Two-thirds of people should not suffer because others were hesitant, he said.

I wonder how they would police that? Keeping them indoors is going to be difficult is it not? Maybe it would be simpler just to deny them healthcare via the nhs (if we did it here) if they contract it, most clearly think they are safe from getting it and surely they don’t want to be a burden on our beleaguered nhs?
